“…Within the context of this research, we use "study abroad" to mean a programme in which pre-service teachers travel to international destinations to live and volunteer teach while taking online courses from their home university and receiving co-curricular service credit for their participation. Beyond organising the logistical components of such experiences, it was important to plan for processes that guide students to deepen their understandings about their sojourns (Northcote, Kilgour, Reynaud, & Fitzsimmons, 2014). To that end, we proposed that students would benefit from a reflective writing model for their study abroad experiences that drew upon the literature on reflective writing in professional programs.…”

Reflective Practice

Reflective writing is a practice often encouraged in study abroad programs. Reflection can be facilitated through experiential learning, but little research is available on how to guide or structure related learning activities. In this article, we discuss the Cross-cultural Reflection model (CCR), which emerged through our own process of researching three commonly used models for reflective writing (Gibbs, 1988; Johns, 2010; Rolfe, Freshwater & Jasper, 2001). We document our procedure for researching, creating, testing, and modifying the CCR model, before and after using it with students in a post-sojourn debriefing workshop. In the discussion, we examine which aspects of the models examined informed the CCR model and which elements we introduced as a result of working with the models in two research retreats. The sharing of the process is intended to inform practices of reflective writing in post-sojourn debriefing to enhance international experiences, programmes and practices.
